Cheryl had a drink with this toe in it!
July 10th 2011 What better way to start the day off with a tiny little ferry ride from Dawson City to the other side of the Yukon. This ferry seems to be a vital mode of transportation for anyone wanting to head to the Top of The World “Highway” to Chicken, Tok and then back…
July 9 2011 Budgets? When we set out of a trip like this money is always on our minds. We always think we will save with lodging and food. In reality what happens when traveling on a motorcycle it goes something like this….you ride up the Dempster and are exhausted and hungry. You see a…
No full Blog entry tonight, too tired. But I will tell you this….the Dempster is a road to be taken seriously when riding in the pouring rain. We rode in slippery crap for well over 300 KM, standing on the pegs just trying to keep the bikes upright in the snotty mess. A rider lost…
July 8th 2011 Eagle Plains population is 8 So, the DEMPSTER! The Dempster….recently we have heard of 5 medical attentions and one rider needing to be air lifted out. The Dempster has wrecked numerous cars and trailers that we have heard about too. I am sure many reading this might think these incidences are no…
July 7th 201 This morning Cheryl and I met Brad Whitelaw, the owner and operator of the Triple J hotel where we are staying and the Dawson City’s Klondike Spirit Paddle Boat. I informed Brad about the charity portion of our ride and he instantly took an interest and wanted to help out. Gave him…
July 6th 2011 (We heard a Tiger XC made it to Prudhoe Bay we think by today. We might not be the 1st to get there. Congrats to the Tiger owner) I know we talk about the temperature a lot especially in the morning but here is another comment as to what the temperature was…
(All pictures on any of the posts can be clicked on for larger sizes) July 5th 2011 Got a late start today because we have been a little cold at night with the temperatures almost reaching freezing. Although we have a lot of clothing to try to bulk up and stay warm, we are still…
6 degrees last night and we were prepared!
Last night was let’s see…..FREEZING! It got down to 4 degrees Celsius over night and the two of us did the best we could to try and stay warm in our 3 season sleeping bags and tent. But HOLY it was cold. Neither one of us got that much sleep. Cheryl said she slept the…
Our little neighbour behind our tent…just love how they flap their tails before diving. Makes a big THUMPing noise but not so nice at night. In the tent before we went to sleep or tried to go to sleep….it was freezing out and we did the best we could to stay warm. Cheryl looks feminine…
We do not have winter camping gear. Our tent and sleeping bags are not winterized. Holy it was chilly last night and this morning. 4 degrees Celsius which is about 38 degrees F. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr….but I see puffy clouds and sun this morning.
Started the day out right with Auntie Marilynne and Uncle Fred who served us an awesome breakfast to send us on our way. Great visit, great food and incredible, gracious hosts. Next we were off on the Alaska highway, fueled up in Fort St. John and went through a little town named Taylor where we…
